As prisoners of the cave according to Plato (A short report on the EC 2024 among boys and girls)

18.08.2024

A short quote from the classics: “Imagine a tribe that is condemned to live in a deep cave. Its members have shackles on their legs and arms that prevent them from moving. Several generations have been born in this cave, the only source of knowledge for which are faint reflections of light and muffled sounds reaching their senses from the surface.

Now imagine what these people know about life outside?

And so one of them took off his shackles and reached the entrance to the cave. He saw the sun, trees, amazing animals, birds soaring in the sky. Then he returned to his tribesmen and told them about what he had seen. Will they believe him? Or will they consider more reliable that gloomy picture of the underworld that they see with their own eyes all their lives?” (Plato’s philosophical parable)

The ruin is not in the closets, the ruin is in the heads! (Results)

02.08.2024

We are close to a new method of conducting tournaments. The fact is that according to some heads-psychologists of the proud federation, the opening of the competition is a great stress. And therefore the opening of the competition cannot be combined on the same day with the first round. At the moment one of the proud federations begins to hold the opening 5 hours before the start of the first round. This is a success! Most likely an extra day will be allocated for the opening of the tournament in the future!
